This past weekend I trekked, and boy was it a trek, to Chicago’s Navy Pier for this year’s Green Festival. It’s presented by Co-Op America and Global Exchangeand featured an array of environmental and healthy living exhibits. Everything from Organic Valley to Dr. Bronner’s and everything you could imagine in between. They also had […]
So my interview with David Bronner that I thought I would have up this week has been pushed back due to technical difficulties. Boo, hiss… I know. No throwing tomatoes at me. Be patient and I promise it will make for an interesting read next week. Needless to say the essence and legacy of Emil […]
I know that some people get icked out by the idea of buying used goods or sharing things. I used to be one of those people so I’m certainly not going to look down my nose at anyone. Everyone has a line that they will or will not cross and that’s okay. Well I guess […]

The essence of the lawsuit is that they (Estee Lauder, Stella McCartney, etc.) are accused of false advertising by labeling their products as organic. […]
This Earth Day I thought it would be nice to offer up a few ways we can give back to the environment in ways that are easy to integrate into our daily routine. I talk a lot here about buying this and that here but really consuming less should be something we all strive for. […]
Check out No Impact Man’s take on the Clorox Greenwashing Greenworks cleaners. It’s much smarter and much more in depth than mine. He and I both will be sticking with homemade cleaners. It’s cheaper than Greenworks or Seventh Generation and the like and it works much better. I just scrubbed every counter top, sink, tub, toilet […]
Have you heard about Earth Hour 2008? This Saturday, March 29th, you can make a global statement by turning off all your lights from 8-9pm. It started last year in Sydney and apparently caught on, so this year it has become a world wide event.
It is about simple changes that will collectively make a difference […]
